[00:00.78]The Last Resort
[00:08.78]She came from Providence'
[00:12.65]The one in Rhode Island
[00:16.46]Where the old world shadows hang
[00:20.32]Heavy in the air
[00:23.83]She packed her hopes and dreams
[00:27.81]Like a refugee
[00:31.62]Just as her father came across the sea
[00:40.97]She heard about a place people were simlin'
[00:48.46]They spoke about the red man's way'
[00:52.26]And how they loved the land
[00:56.09]And they came from everywhere
[00:59.89]To the Great Divide
[01:03.58]Seeking a place to stand
[01:07.58]Or a place to hide
[01:13.37]Down in the crowded bars'
[01:17.11]Out for a good time'
[01:20.80]Can't wait to tell you all'
[01:24.17]What it's like up there
[01:28.28]And they called it paradise
[01:32.16]I don't know why
[01:35.71]Somebody laid the mountains low
[01:39.76]While the town got high
[02:08.82]Then the chilly winds blew down
[02:12.75]Across the desert
[02:16.39]Through the canyons of the coast'
[02:19.58]To the Malibu
[02:24.14]Where the pretty people play'
[02:27.88]Hungry for power
[02:31.69]To light their neon way
[02:35.42]And give them things to do
[02:40.98]Some rich men came and raped the land'
[02:44.88]Nobody caught 'em
[02:48.56]Put up a bunch of ugly boxes' and Jesus'
[02:52.81]People bought 'em
[02:56.11]And they called it paradise
[02:59.99]The place to be
[03:03.73]They watched the hazy sun' sinking in the sea
[04:20.79]You can leave it all behind
[04:24.35]And sail to Lahaina
[04:28.28]Just like the missionaries did' so many years ago
[04:36.08]They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming"
[04:44.07]Brought the white man's burden down
[04:48.02]Brought the white man's reign
[04:51.57]Who will provide the grand design
[04:55.55]What is yours and what is mine
[04:59.31]'Cause there is no more new frontier
[05:03.11]We have got to make it here
[05:06.81]We satifsy our endless needs
[05:10.65]And justify our bloody deeds'
[05:14.60]In the name of destiny
[05:18.15]And the name of God
[05:24.21]And you can see them there'
[05:27.77]On Sunday morning
[05:31.41]Stand up and sing about
[05:35.35]What it's like up there
[05:39.06]They call it paradise
[05:42.24]I don't know why
[05:46.41]You call someplace paradise'
[05:50.42]Kiss it goodbye
